Near-term inflation split across Asia

Dr. Jacky Tang, Deutsche Bank Private Bank’s CIO for Emerging Markets, breaks down the key forces shaping Asia’s market outlook.

On Japan's weekend election, Jacky notes that “A victory for the LDP would point to broad policy continuity, with fiscal support and gradual BOJ normalisation still in place.”

He explains that such stability would support higher wages and investment, improving corporate profitability and contributing to a steeper yield curve that could benefit the banking sector.

The episode also explores upcoming CPI releases from China, India and the US, and why Asia’s inflation trends continue to diverge from those in the US. Jacky then discusses the latest developments in US-Asia relations — from reduced friction following the US-India trade agreement to a cautious stabilisation in US-China engagement.

Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns.

Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive. Investments come with risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.
